Chef Gino Sorbillo Delivers Award-Winning Pizza to South Beach
One of Italy’s best-loved pizza chefs, Gino Sorbillo, has opened a Miami Beach location of his eponymous restaurant at 100 Collins Ave. The pizzaiolo is respected throughout Italy for his food. His four restaurants — including the family's first Naples location, which opened in 1935 — have hourlong lines and are regarded among the best in the country. Like its sister establishments in Italy, New York City, and Tokyo, the Miami Beach restaurant offers Sorbillo's wide array of classic and seasonal Neapolitan pies, along with his famous pizza fritta (fried pizza dough), calzones, an assortment of antipasti, main dishes, pasta, and dessert. More than a dozen pies, priced from $9 to $28, can be found on the South Beach menu. However, there's one caveat: Only 250 pizzas are available each day, served on a first-come, first-serve basis. 100 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-281-0588; sorbillonyc.com. Sunday through Thursday noon to midnight, Friday and Saturday noon to 1 a.m.
